French Suspect in Money Laundering Case Arrested in Morocco, Faces Extradition
Tuesday 26 November 2024, by
A 38-year-old French national of Algerian origin was arrested on Monday evening in Marrakech. The Moroccan authorities suspect him of being involved in a money laundering network.
The operation, carried out jointly by the Marrakech police and the General Directorate of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), made it possible to arrest the individual in the Chrifia district.
The man was the subject of an Interpol red notice at the request of France. He is currently in custody and should soon be brought before the Moroccan justice system.
The Interpol office in Rabat has informed its French counterpart of the arrest, thus triggering the extradition procedure.
